According to an internal source, Lionel Messi has not yet returned to the PSG camp as he is still on vacation and is not expected to return until after the New Year’s break. The PSG camp is willing to give him the much-needed rest in the hopes of rejuvenating him.
Messi is the architect of Argentina’s success at the 2022 World Cup, and it will be the same for PSG if they wish to win every trophy available. He has 11 goals and 14 assists for PSG in all competitions.
On January 7, PSG will face Chateaurox in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France, and it is expected that this will be the match in which Messi makes his return.
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are among the notable players who participated in training and are expected to play against Strasbourg. As world cup setbacks are still fresh in their minds, they will be keen to put the past behind them and finish as Europe’s champion to make amends for their national team’s failure.
